Will this help (albeit for Dell Vostro)? See if it helps. http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11663269&postcount=1

Ikey--does this kernel have the patch for Intel chips--v3.0.0 overheats and fans just blows. I will take it for spin if this problem is resolved.

Not a direct solution to your needs--if you are willing to change to Gnome Shell, then there is an extension that will place a panel icon with the thermals showing all the time (realtime). I am not...

Hi there

Do you know if the latest LMDE 12 release (respin) comes with the hardware detection app that would automagically detect and install my nvidia and broadcom wireless drivers.

Only thin...

Dave--about AV preferences--MSE is light on the system and so is Avira; I found Avast and AVG quite hungry on resources and also have some false negatives cf to avira.

Hi Dave, what I have tried before to overwrite the boot sector with MBR is use EasyBCD (one of the advanced menus). What this will do is restore the MBR (boot sector). What I would then so is...

If you have antivirus on while writing to USB, it may prevent writing of the instructions to boot off USB; I use Avira and as a result the USB is unbootable. I have to temp disable the antivirus...

Marking this to remember for next time I am in this pickle.

Another of Windows 8 features to not allow dual boot systems. Wise.

Google grub customizer; it has a PPA and will do what you want in GUI. THe other is installing UbuntuTweak (allows you to clean up old kernels in a GUI. Read all the instructions carefully before...

This is exactly how Windows OS does it (but is also user accesible if need be to increase or decrease the pagefile size).

I thought swap was needed for hibernation mainly (hence recommendation of 1.5 to 2x size of RAM); I a not sure what recommendation if RAM is >8GB-is their max limit to swap size as RAM increases?

Windows 8 comes with Windows Defender--rated better than Norton. Works well.

and hot corners...

@wolfen69: Agree--did search for keyboard short cuts--makes life living and dealing with metro a little bearable.

Also I like the way it pulled all the drivers for me on my dell including the...

Does the Metro UI remind you of Gnome Shell?? especially keyboard shortcut--SuperKey??

(do not shoot me for this analogy)

@matt_symes--it is not out yet; will be released 3PM Barcelona time. But watch the site anyway.

AdamWill--nice to see you hear.

Yup, I fell for that and my installer crashed; grub-error> so could not boot at all.

I will wait for the later release (not brave to fix right now).

Does anyone know how to install Broadcom drivers in Fedora (17 alpha)--let me know, in mean time I search.

Announcement --Just released on Distrowatch.

Anyone trying it? I am busy downloading it right now.
Interested in the Gnome 3.4 and Gnome Shell.

Thanks will try--this next time I am in Fedora.

BTW--EasyLife Project is also a neat tweaker to have on the side for fedora. Does fonts config apparently as well.

How do you guys that use Fedora "fix" the font rendering in Fedora to resemble Ubuntu's?

Else, I agree that Fedora with Gnome Shell is a bomb--I find it a tad faster than Ubuntu.

@Dave--to be honest, Gnome Shell and Gnome 3.x by default even lack simple customization tools, take gnome-tweak-tool--this is absent from the default installation; it is the first thing I install...

Panel fonts?? next hopefully?

Considering this is your first posting--I want to welcome you to this forum and also to 12.04 LTS (it seems you have only been using the LTS releases, so did not get a chance to see the changes in...
